Paris prosecutors have raided the French offices of Elon Musk's social media platform X as part of a widening criminal investigation into how content is recommended on the platform and the role played by its AI systems. Police specialising in cybercrime, assisted by Europol, carried out the raid, according to the Paris prosecutor's office. Investigators said the operation was linked to an inquiry into X's recommendation algorithm, which has now been expanded to include scrutiny of the company's AI chatbot, Grok.

Social media platform X has refused an invitation to appear before an Oireachtas Committee next month in a move that has been described as "deeply concerning" in the aftermath of senior X executives meeting with AI minister Niamh Smyth.
